Scouting Report: Warming Bernabel
Washington Nationals | 1B
Overall
Summary
Mick Abel, Minnesota Twins right-hander, suffered a setback in his recovery from right elbow inflammation on the 15-day IL since April 20. After throwing a simulated bullpen on Saturday, Abel experienced tricep soreness and received a cortisone injection. The Twins will re-evaluate him on Tuesday with no clear return timeline. Abel had been showing promise with back-to-back strong outings (6 shutout innings vs Detroit, 7 scoreless innings vs Boston) before the setback, making this injury particularly frustrating for the struggling 16-21 club.
Strengths
- Recently showed strong performance with back-to-back quality starts
- Had resumed playing catch with encouraging signs
